Congress, NC announce Lok Sabha poll pact in J&K, Ladakh; leave out PDP

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: The Congress and the J&K National Conference have sealed an alliance for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah and senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid announced on Monday. The National Conference and the Congress announced the alliance on Monday “Udhampur, Jammu and Ladakh will go to Congress and NC will fight in Anantnag, Baramulla and Srinagar,” said Abdullah. Abdullah and Khurshid maintained that there was a limited scope for bringing the PDP on board since there were only six seats; five in Jammu and Kashmir and one in Ladakh “PDP is a part of our INDIA alliance but in a small state, there is limited scope of seat sharing,” said Khurshid. Asked about Democratic Azad Party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad deciding to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Anantnag parliamentary constituency, Abdullah said, “If he had fought from Doda region, it would have hurt the BJP.” Abdullah added that the alliance will win all six seats in the J&K and Ladakh.
